Show HN: Wirewright, an experimental symbolic physics environmenthttps://github.com/wirewright/wirewrightThe idea with Wirewright is to treat programs and algorithms as physical mechanisms, as machines or societies of machines inhabiting an immutable symbolic world, and time-step the latter to see what happens. This last part in particular reminds me of cellular automata.Said differently, in Wirewright, programs are modeled as "nouns" or "societies" of interacting "nouns" (think data structures). The world is then subjected to laws of physics -- symbolic physics; which is the only "verb" here (think function). Therefore, in Wirewright, we say that, in a sense, algorithm equals structure and the evolution of structure equals computation. I tend to shorten this to "structure is computation", but this may be incorrect if viewed in isolation.Now, I guess you're wondering what Wirewright actually is. In fact, I see the rules here state that I must tell you what Wirewright is, plainly and clearly. I will try, but beware that at the end of the day, I know as little as you do :^) My hands write,

The AI Conundrum: We are living in highly subsidized, interesting timeshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48622280If you trace the timeline of how LLMs went from a technologist's dream to early text-generation toys, to the world-shifting launch of ChatGPT, and finally to the daily drivers of modern programming (Sonnet, Opus), it has taken less than a decade. It’s a thrilling, almost unbelievable tale.Let's look at how we got here, and the wall the industry is currently hitting.- The Dream Phase (2010-2016). By the dawn of the last decade (2011), an interesting thing was happening. The two platforms, Wikipedia and Stack Overflow, had started gaining tremendous traction, folks were collaborating on these platforms to openly exchange knowledge. Looking back, this feels like a more ideal, community-driven path for humanity — one we abandoned for the centralized architecture we have today.- The Disruption Phase (2016-2021). A perfect storm of unrelated events paved the way for AI. By 2017, new programmers were growing deeply frustrated by Stack Overflow's rigid policies, subjective question rejections,

Show HN: Submarius – Global water clarity for divershttps://submarius.comSubmarius started as just a dashboard for diving conditions, but I quickly realized that there is simply no API for water clarity, nor even a simple way to calculate it. Divers call it viz, and it is one of the most consequential factors for a diving experience. So I dove the viz rabbit-hole. I landed on a state-augmented ensemble kalman filter. More details on the /clarity page. My question for the HN audience is if anyone knows of a better way of doing this? There is a ton of satellite data to train on, but a lot of it is messy (clouds read as turbid water, shallow reefs reflect abnormally causing bad readings, etc). Appreciate any feedback on the subject. Enjoy the read!

Show HN: TLA+ Process Studiohttps://tlaplus-process-studio.com/?example=meeting-lifecycleDisclaimer: This was made with LLMs.I made this tool to help understand large business processes that can be modelled as a single state machine.The core loop of this is to enable to walk stakeholders through discussing each step, adding comments, and reiterating with an LLM of their choice to generate the TLA+ syntax on the left.Users can click through the green state nodes to see how things work visually.You can see some sample state machines in the dropdown in the top left.The power would come from getting folks on the same page of the business process, so engineers can think about how best to automate/modernize the system once they get all of the context.Additionally, once you have a single canonical model of the process, you could in theory send into a dark factory to produce the software as quickly as possible, but now we can allocate more time in the entire software lifecycle at the design and alignment before coding now that coding is faster.Additional work could be done using t

Show HN: Tin Validate, a tax ID validator that explains why checks pass or failhttps://tin-validate.com/After a year and a half of hard work, we recently released TIN Validate (tin-validate.com), a Tax Identification Number (TIN) validator available through both a web portal and a REST API.Over the past few years, we have seen a significant increase in regulations aimed at strengthening tax compliance and the automatic exchange of tax information. In Europe for example, the DAC7 directive now requires collaborative platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com to report users' income along with tax information. Financial institutions are also already required to perform international tax reporting under FATCA and CRS.As a result, there is an increasing need for TIN validation. During our research, we found that while this space was already occupied by a few established providers, many of the products felt brittle, lacked transparency, and were often surprisingly expensive. We felt there was room for a different approach.What we are bringing to the table that we believe is different:1. Support

Show HN: Video on the map marketplace 1 year – still bad tractionhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48610459After 8 months of development we launched MVP three months ago.The idea of "Now & Here" came from my own pain: I arrived at hotel after long journey, exhausted - it looks old with noisy renovations on the back side. At that moment I thought: I would pay $20 to someone in each of the 5 nearest hotels to film the real view.We solve trust problem: people need to know what a place looks like, but most internet information is outdated, curated, or fake. For example: 1. Hotel and travel websites show polished marketing photos. 2. Google Street View is static and often years old. 3. AI-generated content is making it harder to trust locations online.We are made app where people can request closed to real-time video from any location and nearby people can earn money by recording video fot those requests.We built android app with all necessary mvp features: - map with tasks and videos - tasks creation and execution flow - video viewing and recording payed and free - wallet with USDT (crypto just

Show HN: Indie Launch – personalized launch plans for indie developershttps://indielaunch.clubI built a tool that tries to solve a specific problem I kept running into: you finish the product, and then you have no idea where to actually launch it.Most advice says "post on Product Hunt." But Product Hunt needs first-hour upvotes you can't guarantee without an existing audience. Meanwhile, Hacker News, Reddit r/SideProject, and IndieHackers work completely differently — and better for most indie products.Indie Launch asks 4 questions about your product, matches you to the right channels based on your actual situation (audience size, where you're active, product type), and generates ready-to-use content for each platform.$10 one-time. Happy to answer any questions about how I built it.https://indielaunch.club
